About This Coffee

This single origin coffee is from the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica, grown at 1,000-1,500 meters altitude on the Mavis Bank Estate. It is a washed Typica variety. The flavor profile features hazelnut, gingerbread, and cognac on the nose, with nougat, orange, and salted caramel on the palate, finishing with cocoa notes. The coffee is described as medium strength. The beans are packed in wooden barrels of 35 and 70 kg for shipping. Jamaica Blue Mountain is considered one of the world's most expensive coffees due to limited availability, slow growth, and strict bean selection.
